2B's Next Pokemon (Patreon)

Alright! I am still paying attention to the Discussion Post from yesterday. Thanks for chiming in if you already have, and feel free to keep doing so! The feedback is very useful!

That said, I also need to get a pair of polls kicked off for A Very Confused Pokémon Adventure while their current location and adventures are still on everyone's mind. Specifically, of course, regarding what their next set of captures will be! Zoey's poll is already up! Make sure you check in on both!

As 2B already has a full team, she's not going to be actively looking for pokémon as much as Zoey. However, there are a couple she could encounter in Rock Tunnel she might be interested in annnnnd there are some back on the Oak Ranch that have expressed interest in her. In the latter case, she'd pick them up in Lavender Town, post Rock Tunnel, since that will give her some time to work with her current team before having to rotate a pokémon.

1) Cubone! A very solid ground type, with good type coverage in its TMs, it also represents something that 2B doesn't really have in the form of a proper brusier/tankish type. While still sticking with the cute badass theme that everyone seems to like for 2B :-p.

2) Charmander! Short of a visit to Charizard Valley, I'm going to make Rock Tunnel the only place in Kanto they are likely to encounter a Charmander in the wild. 2B has a lot of experience with the Starter Pokemon from the Oak Ranch and wouldn't pass one up if she found one willing to come along. I mean, who would? They are extremely solid pokemon all the way around, as pretty much every starter is. Also, the final evolution would give her a flight capable pokemon she couldn't lacks, for fast travel. One strong enough to conceivably carry both her and Zoey, honestly.

3) Dratini! How many of you remember that there was a Dratini among 2B's possible starters? 2B decided that she didn't feel it was truly quite ready for leaving the ranch at the time, but its had two additional months to grow! Its one of my personal favorite lines from the Kanto region, so of course I was going to give it at least one more chance ;-).

4) Ice-Influenced Psyduck! Some of the pokémon 2B met back in Mt. Moon really wanted to come along! Having spent some time acclimating at the Oak Ranch, a couple of them have been approved to do so, mostly because 2B is officially a researcher and the League wants to know more! While 2B already has both Water and Ice Type pokemon, since any new pokemon will mean rotating someone out, that's not much of an issue. This Psyduck is a unique variant, caused by exposure to Ice Energy in the Sanctuary.

5) Delbird! Less unique, but unusual for Kanto, this Delbird also came from the Sanctuary. The League is interested to see just how similar or different it is to ones found elsewhere...
